Vision Statement

We will lead the Southern Ute Indian Tribe by responsibly exercising our sovereignty, continuously refining and evolving the tribal organization, serving the best interest of our enrolled tribal members, and strengthening our cultural traditions and language. We aim to maximize prosperity, create opportunities, and enhance the self-sustainability of our enrolled tribal members and the Tribe as a whole.

Guiding Principles

We will promote sovereignty by maximizing self-governance while minimizing Federal oversight.

We will utilize Tribal resources, both fiscal and non-fiscal, in a sound manner that demonstrates accountability, responsibility, and efficiency.

We will reflect the cultural and traditional values of Southern Ute Indian Tribe, while strengthening the knowledge and practices of our people (Mouache-Capote).

We will promote quality services, programs, benefits, and opportunities, (including employment) which serves the best interest of the membership, while maximizing fairness, self-sufficiency and sustainability.
